A first round of peace talks on Syria wraps up Friday with both sides in entrenched positions and the U.N. mediator expressing frustration that it had not even been possible to get agreement for an aid convoy to enter the besieged city of Homs. After a week of talks at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, the opposing sides in Syria\'s civil war were still stuck on the question of how to proceed. Friday\'s closing session was expected to be largely ceremonial, with government and opposition delegates expected to meet again on February 10.

Israeli and Syrian officials resumed negotiations in Washington on Thursday on a road map they hope will lead to peace between their two countries - and over the entire middle East.
But despite optimism from American officials, the negotiations may prove difficult.
Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk Al-Sharaa gave a \'thumbs down\' gesture when asked about his expectations for an agreement with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and U-S Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was meeting separately with the two delegations before face-to-face, Israeli-Syrian talks on a land-for-peace proposal.
President Clinton, meanwhile, was standing by to intercede if necessary in the talks being held across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House.
Israeli officials are already looking toward a new round of negotiations, to be held sometime in January.
Mr. Al-Sharaa previously indicated that Syria wants to come to some sort of agreement in the year 2000.
Syria hopes to win back the Golan Heights it lost to Israeli forces more than 30 years ago and Israel wants recognition by the Arab state and improved security, though the first day of meetings Wednesday was reported stuck on procedural matters.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak also acknowledged the difficult road ahead maintaining that Israel was aware of the dedication that will be required to reach an agreement.
Though the White House sought to portray the tone of the meetings as conciliatory, al-Sharaa lashed out at Israel during the opening ceremony in t...

It was because Iran would not agree that Bashar al-Assad should be removed as part of any peace plan. The Syrian peace talks have turned into a name calling event with both sides posturing. The peace talks are solidifying the fact that more war is coming, and it will likely intensify. This shows that after 130,000 were killed in the bloody Syrian civil war, there is no end in sight.
It also looks like the deal to curtail Iran\'s nuclear program is on shaky ground. One CNN anchor called it \"a train wreck.\" Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told CNN \"not under any circumstances\" would it destroy key parts of its nuclear program, such as thousands of centrifuges.

Syrian conflict peace proposals

The Syrian conflict peace proposals relates to initiatives and plans to resolve the 2011–2012 Syrian uprising. Among the most significant attempts to resolve the conflict are the Arab League peace plan and the resulting Arab League observer mission, launched in December 2011. In addition, a Russian proposal was also issued. In early 2012, the "Friends of Syria" initiative was established, which resulted in multi-national conference in Tunisia, in order to find a solution to the Syrian crisis. Successive meeting was held in Turkey during April. The Kofi Annan peace plan for Syria was initiated in February as Kofi Annan, former U.N. Secretary General was appointed as U.N.-Arab League peace envoy for Syria, The Kofi Annan peace plan is considered the most serious international attempt to resolve the Syrian conflict in the Middle East, and it plans to impose a cease fire beginning April 10, 2012.

On 3 November 2011, the Syrian government accepted an Arab League peace plan to halt its crackdown on protesters. The ceasefire quickly broke down, as government forces continued their suppression of protests. From 2 to 12 November 2011, more than 250 people were killed.
